Of the Dire Deathspeaker, I will not say overmuch. It is a subject best left to speculation and tales used to frighten children.
They supposedly kept the habit of their more clever cousins of wearing skulls, but displayed their maws proudly, and grew very large, with hooves sharpened into points. While the Common Deathspeaker is content to speak and live among the other intelligent beings, the Dire Deathspeaker was, by all accounts, a mere brutish predator.
The figure above, copied from an elven tapestry, is the best recorded example of a Dire Deathspeaker. They currently do not roam the woods, as far as we are aware, though the Common Deathspeakers are still deathly afraid of them.
